Hi Cardiff!

The search for datasets

The search continues for analysis-ready datasets

The U.S. Government open data portal

The “clearinghouse” for open U.S. government data is located at data.gov. It also contains tools, and resources to conduct research, develop web and mobile applications, design data visualizations.

Good examples of datasets

##   Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species
## 1          5.1         3.5          1.4         0.2  setosa
## 2          4.9         3.0          1.4         0.2  setosa
## 3          4.7         3.2          1.3         0.2  setosa
## 4          4.6         3.1          1.5         0.2  setosa
## 5          5.0         3.6          1.4         0.2  setosa
## 6          5.4         3.9          1.7         0.4  setosa

Bad examples of datasts

The landscape of beer datasets

The reality and struggle of limited beer datasets

The sparcity of beer data actaully inspired me become better at finding datasets and webscraping!
